Where it earns its place
Built for spills and standing water. Where a fabric pad saturates and starts smearing, this keeps lifting.
How we cut to a frame we did not version is on replacement refills; what we test and when is on certifications. Neither is repeated here.
Honest limits
Where this material is the wrong choiceIt has to be shipped damp.
PVA hardens if it dries out and will not soften again in the pack. It ships in a sealed damp sleeve, which affects shelf presentation and means it cannot sit in a hot warehouse for a year.
Best suited to Spills, standing water
Questions about this material
Will you cut it to a frame you did not make?
Yes, and it is most of what we do. Send the pad you use now photographed next to a ruler, or a drawing. We cut a die to it and keep the die on your account, so the second order carries no new setup charge.
What is the minimum order?
300 pcs per size as a trial on stock colours, 3,000 pcs per size and colour for standard production. See ordering terms.
Can you match a colour?
Twelve colours are held in stock. Pantone matching is available from 5,000 pcs per colour.
What testing comes with it?
Peel strength, absorbency, shrinkage, colour fastness and appearance, sampled per lot to AQL against limits you agree with us first. See certifications.
